    this brings back a memory of the 60's when it was popular to straighten one's hair by ironing it. my blonde hair had only a slight wave, but i tried it. when i arrived at school, my boyfriend said that my hair did not look good [paraphrasing in a nice way]. i never did that again !!!! :lol:

    I flatiron my hair often. I like my hair the way it is naturally (it air dries into really nice waves most of the time), but sometimes it's nice for a different look, and it makes me feel more put together in a way, especially when I have to dress up for something.

    I love your hair either way! :)

    I love it!!! I used to have super straight long hair. I always wanted a wave put in it. I went and got it cut shorter and I now have a natural wave in it. Now I want my straight hair back...lol.

    so glad to hear it was not a perm and you were able to transition back gracefully!!

    Does anyone else remember setting your hair on orange juice cans to try and get it straight??

    very nice...and it looks good on you!
    Being a hairdresser I know what she went through...BUT if you keep it conditioned well, and keep it relaxed, it will get easier to do!

    and now you can roll it, curl it, crimp it..etc..ehhehe

    You're lucky, you look great both ways!

    I have that very curly Jewish hair, which is very tough to keep straight. I've had it professionally straightened in different ways over the years. Some ways work, some don't. I've also done it myself.

    I bought a straightening iron but I'm just hopeless at using it. Oh well, at least in the cooler weather, I can straighten it with my regular blow dryer.

    Your hair looks beautiful both ways. I have naturally straight hair and have to pay for my curls. $100 a pop for a spiral perm and haircut. Three hours and I'm curly.

    I think it is pretty both ways, but IMO the straight hair makes you look younger. :thumbup:

    I would love to have your curls. I can't get a perm anymore because of medication I take. They are afraid my hair will fall out.
